No matter what direction one looks today, the evidence is everywhere and overwhelming that our entire modern civilization is dying - global warming, peak oil, mass species extinction, climate change, terrorism, wars, gangs, ancient prophecies, poverty and death, ethic cleansing, genocides with millions being murdered, mass starvations, sickness, drugs, violence, over population, mass corruption, potential global pandemics, a polluted Mother Earth, school shootings, failing or broken government such as in the US and the former USSR, global organized crime, serial killers, failing schools, broken families, potential nuclear destruction. Most people see these problems as separate and independent from one another but they are not. They are all connected to the same root causes and are symptoms of a failing social system. The truth is that our modern civilization is near its death as detailed in the book Infinite Wealth: A New World of Collaboration and Abundance in the Knowledge Era.
There are many Native American prophecies that speak of the times that we are in--a time of purification and renewal. The problem is that we have taken the wrong path and our modern civilization is built on the wrong stuff for a peaceful, abundant and sustainable civilization. We have forgotten how to live on Earth. Our modern world is based upon the Authoritarian Worldview of Western Civilization. The Authoritarian System of control, fear, selfishness and fragmentation or analysis was brought to the rest of the world by way of Europe, starting perhaps 6,000 years ago. It has now grown to infect and dominate the entire globe and its attributes are now considered to be human nature - greed, selfishness, fear, violence, competition. This is the big lie. The only true human nature is LOVE!!!
There are at least two ways of knowing. Through the head and through the heart. The authoritarian system comes from the head--it is the way of the mind--analysis, fear and fragmentation. This is the foundation of Western Civilization. The Indigenous Way comes from the heart--the way of the circle. The heart is the only way of truly knowing and comes from love!!
What is the Indigenous Way? If we go back far enough all people on Mother Earth lived in extended-family-communities, connected to other extended-family-communities forming tribes and nations. Tribal communities or tribes, uncorrupted by Authoritarianism, were based upon the Indigenous Way and were places of peace, love, abundance, spirituality and liberty with no violence, no anger, no selfishness, no controls, no courts, no police, no government and no authority. They were places of reverence, caring and respect for Mother Earth and all of her inhabitants, as shown in The Seventh Fire Prophecy, "They lived by the Original Instructions to love, honor, and respect all beings in the circle of life. This was given to all people at the beginning of the Creation. It's written in our hearts.". When the European's came to the Americas they found people untouched by the authoritarian system. In 1541 the European Bartoleme de Las Casas describes the indigenous Native Americans as follows, "And of all the infinite universe of humanity, these people are the most guileless, the most devoid of wickedness and duplicity, the most obedient and faithful .... They are by nature the most humble, patient, and peaceable, holding no grudges, free from embroilments, neither excitable nor quarrelsome. These people are the most devoid of rancors, hatreds, or desire for vengeance of any people in the world. . . . For this reason they are not arrogant, embittered, or greedy. As to their dress, they are generally naked, with only their pudenda covered somewhat. They are very clean in their persons, with alert, intelligent minds, docile and open . . . .Yet into this sheepfold, into this land of meek . . . ." Humanity for most of human existence has been on the path of the original instruction--peace, love and abundance. For many of us who are beginning to awaken, it is important for us to be humble and respectful in understanding that we are NOT discovering anything new. We are merely getting back on the path where we once were.
Today nearly all of us are disconnected from the Indigenous Way. Thus we are disconnected from our hearts and souls and perceive primarily through the mind. Our thinking is therefore fragmented. We operate as separate from others, Mother Earth and and god and thus seek to take from the world and others for our own wellbeing.
The result is that we are dead and slaves--like zombies. "None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free."- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, 1749-1832. We did not get this way by accident. Virtually all peoples have been forced out of the Indigenous Way hundreds or thousands of years ago and we are all now asleep and have become part of the Authoritarian System--The Matrix. The Western based Authoritarian System, for thousands of years has waged an unrelenting, unmerciful, brutal war on the natural Indigenous World. For 6,000 years indigenous communities worldwide have experienced unthinkable death and genocide being forced to accepted the authoritarian system. The genocides have been waged with an attitude of arrogance, self-righteousness and superiority - Manifest Destiny. Manifest Destiny is the rallying call of the Authoritarian System. It is the rigid, self-centered dogma which espouses that:
- Each person is to look out for his or her own best interest.
- Mother Earth and all her contents and inhabitants are dead and mere resources and here to be exploited, raped, controlled, polluted and destroyed in the name of individual self-power and self-confront.
- The exportation shall continue unabated until the entire indigenous world and all Earths "resources" are depleted.
- This violent and savage activity is to be painted over as innocent, progressive, peaceful and civilized face.
Today we have been brainwashed against the natural and loving Indigenous Way. In the greatest con-game of all time, the way of the heart and circle has been painted as savage, violent, wild, dangerous, ignorant, privative, poor, impractical, backwards and lacking in morality and spirituality. While the Authoritarian System has been painted as advanced, civilized, intelligent, sophisticated, proper, educated. Again a big lie!!
Now after 6,000 years the Authoritarian System is maturing and we are witnessing the natural outcome and end result of fragmented thinking--the way of the mind. This natural outcome is total destruction and death. And now it is becoming plain for all to see that the Authoritarian System, with all of its glamor, polite phoniness, self-indulgence, three piece suits, inflated titles and positions, sophistication and analytical theories is a dead end road. Each day more and more people are awakening from the brainwashing of the authoritarian system and realizing that it is time to get back on the path given to humanity as the original instruction- the Indigenous Way. Most Native Americans have been out of the Indigenous Way for only 500 years compared to most of Europe for over 5,000 years. And others on the planet somewhere in between. Like all indigenous people many Native Americans have resisted the Authoritarian System for centuries, with many refusing to join the system--even if this means lifelong poverty or death.
Many indigenous prophecies speak to the times that we are in today, "Those who return to the ways given to us in the original teachings, and live a natural way of life will not be touched by the coming of the Purifier. They will survive and build the new world. Only in the ancient teachings will the ability to understand the messages be found." Hopi Prophecy.
We who live today are witnessing the birth of a New Civilization a new beginning for humanity and the world!! It is the re-birth of the Indigenous Way unleashed by information technology. We are all one undivided whole and information technology is our training wheels back to the understating and living this because it interconnects humanity and undermines the authority that has us asleep. Information Technology is the tool that is shifting power from authority to the meek.
Today many are being called with the message as shown in the prophecies. Many don't not see the whole message but are being compelled in a direction focusing on one small element of the bigger picture. As they walk in this direction more is revealed, "They will start as fires that burn within us, and we will burn up with desires and conflict if we do not remember the original teachings, and return to the peaceful way of life."
Join us and help co-create the greatest social and spiritual revolution in history- the re-emergence of the Indigenous Way of love, peace, abundance, collaboration, family, responsibility and liberty. We are building physical and virtual communities, we are re-learning our ceremonies, languages and cultures. We are teaching our children the Indigenous Way. We are working to heal, liberate and reawaken ourselves and others. We are protecting the Indigenous World. We are buying land and building communities, building housing, co-creating businesses, growing our own food naturally, teaching diversity, community schooling our children, relearning dialogue and how to listen, relearning the way of love and healing Mother Earth!
